  • Concert at Ascension Church
    March 14, 3:00pm
    Magnolia's own Carol Wollenberg, (flute), and Paul Mitchell, (organ) will perform classical works of Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and more Sunday, March 14th at 3:00 P.M. at Ascension Church at 2330 Viewmont. 

    If you've ever heard Carol or Paul play, you know they are musicians of the highest caliber. If not, come treat yourself and your family to a gift to your ears. Donations to The Seattle Milk Fund, a local charity that provides tuition and childcare assistance, will be accepted, but are not required. This event is FREE. There will be a simple Irish-themed (no Guinness) reception following the performance.  Don't be intimidated if you have wiggly kids. This is in a church and it's easy enough to slip out with them if their classical music tastes are not fully developed.
